My dermabond is already gone! Am I in trouble with my incisions?? They look great except for one that is a little red. I think I read somewhere that it is 3 weeks for a bath or swimming. Check your discharge instructions. I think that is where I read it. Denise

Be sure to check with your surgeon about when it's OK to soak. They are all different. I got the OK to take a bath (instead of a shower) at 2 weeks post op and it felt so good to just lay in ho****er... I had really missed that! : )

Blessings and Best Wishes! Shelly
